Hair, Make-up and Costume

From the voxpop that we made we dicoverd that people think that the most important convention of a period drama is the costumes that the actors wear because the audience need to believe that they are actually from that time. We also thought that we would need to research the hair and make-up of that period because they would set the scene and contribute to the victorian era.

We decided to have the girls hair tied up because we had to take into consideration that the girls actors hair is quite short.
These are some of the images that inspired us and we will try to base our actresses hair on,

 

 

Research of victoran make up:

We decided to have simple make-up, so the girl would not have dark eye make-up but a little bit to emphesise her features.

Here are some of the images that we will try to base our actors costumes on,
